Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empty Hands is the inspiring memoir of Zulu nurse and healthcare activist Sister Abegail Ntleko. Growing up poor in a rural village with a father who didn't believe in educating girls, against seemingly insurmountable odds Sister Abegail earned her nursing degree and began work as a community nurse and educator, dedicating her life to those in need. "Her story tells us," says Desmond Tutu, who wrote the foreword to the book, "what a single person can accomplish when heart and mind work together in the service of others." Overcoming poverty and racism within the apartheid South African system, she adopted her first child at a time when it was unheard of to do so. And then she did it again and again. In forty years she has taken in and cared for hundreds of children who had nothing, saving babies—many of them orphans whose parents died of AIDS—from hospitals that were ready to give up on them and let them die. Empty Hands describes the harshness of Ntleko's circumstances with wit and wisdom in direct, beautifully understated prose and will appeal not only to activists and aid workers, but to anyone who believes in the power of the human spirit to rise above suffering and find peace, joy, and purpose. "Ntleko's story, which she tells in simple language, is inspiring and moving. She neither dwells in nor dramatizes the hardships she has faced, preferring instead to focus on 'fill[ing] her hands with love and then spend[ing] all that love until [her] hands are empty again.' A brief, genuine, heartfelt memoir of an awe-inspiring life."—Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: With Empty Hands is an entirely new translation and edition of Conrad de Meester`s brilliant and moving presentation of the life, thought and spirituality of St. ThTrFse of Lisieux. The author has completely revised and amplified his previous books on the saint in the light of the new, thoroughly annotated editipons of her own works, and the many recent works of research and commentary that have led him to develop and change some of his interpretations of the Saint`s life.Fr. de Meester asks why and how this young girl who asked to be admitted to the Carmel at Lisieux and persevered in her vocation to a hidden life in an obscure part of France, is not only loved and invoked by millions of people, but has become a profound influence on theology, spirituality and the missionary apostolate.He shows how the intuitions of her faith were achieved by growing from spiritual poverty to spiritual maturity through much suffering and inspite of many crises and revearsals and pays full attention to the psychology of the Saint, her family influence and her prayer life and faith as a process of extraordinary rich development. This book reveals ThTrFse as a Saint of hope whose constant watchword was "My God, I love you" and as a revolutionary of love through whom God worked and works as a liberating force.

Book excerpt: Liz grew up in an affluent home that appeared perfect to outsiders. But what others don't see is a woman struggling with deep-seated insecurities and the torment she is causing those closest to her. Sandra desires a relationship from a father she never knew and seeks the love that she has never experienced from a man. Both are brought together by Covid and withstand the storms that come from their diversity. The backdrop of the civil rights movement in the early 1970s, coupled with the present-day death of George Floyd, inspires the reader to look inward and ultimately upward.

This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British author and Carmelite nun Ruth Burrows has been one of the most popular, prolific and revered spiritual writers of the past half-century. This pivotal book systematically explores Burrows’s thought and writings. In addition to first-person live interviews with Burrows, the author mines a rich collection of unpublished writings and personal correspondence. Acclaimed by reviewers as “the most comprehensive, readable introduction to Ruth Burrows presently available,” this book is also an important contribution to the field of spirituality and mysticism and will become the textbook for Burrows studies and her spirituality. Includes an appendix, fully linked index, bibliography and full listing of writings by Ruth Burrows. MORE INFORMATION One of the most popular and revered spiritual writers of the past half-century, the British author and Carmelite nun Ruth Burrows writes not as a detached observer of either the Christian journey or the Carmelite tradition, but through the lens of her lifetime of lived experience as a contemplative Carmelite nun in the 21st century. In the words of emeritus archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, this gives Burrows’s understanding of and writings on prayer “a very rare degree of honesty and realism,” making her one of the most challenging and deep exponents in our time of the Carmelite tradition. The Gospel Mysticism of Ruth Burrows presents for the first time a thorough synthesis of her thought. It is addressed to a wide range of readers, first of all to those interested in Burrows’s spirituality, but also anyone who wants to trace the graced unfolding of the Christian spiritual life. For readers just discovering Burrows, the book is a helpful roadmap to navigate the ideas she develops through her writings. It will have special appeal to anyone interested in exploring Carmelite spirituality. In addition to systematically exploring Burrows’s thought and writings, Australian theologian and author Michelle Jones mines a rich collection of unpublished writings, including personal correspondence, and live interviews with Ruth Burrows at her Carmelite monastery in the UK. The book includes an appendix, a full bibliography of Carmelite primary sources with a listing of all the published writings of Ruth Burrows, and an extensive and fully linked index. “About this book” introduces the readers to a brief biography of Burrows and the author and how the book came to be. A conclusion summarizes the book’s contents but also invites the reader to explore the possibility of what many consider the greatest need of our time: a mysticism that is not only personal, but deeply ecclesial, able to radically transform the church and the world. Reviewers praise The Gospel Mysticism of Ruth Burrows as “the most comprehensive, readable introduction to Burrows that is presently available,” …. “an important contribution to studies on spirituality and mysticism.” In this pivotal book, Australian theologian and author Michelle Jones not only presents Ruth Burrows to a wider readership but also provides an important contribution to the academy vis-à-vis the study of spirituality. Jones’s book shows why Burrows is one of the most important Carmelite authors in our time and what it means to be a Gospel mystic.

Book excerpt: You can't wait to look at the test; you just knew for sure you were pregnant. Clothes seem to fit tighter, your appetite increased, and you can smell anything. But when you read the negative pregnancy test, the reality of your situation sinks in: you are still dealing with infertility.And you are not alone. One in eight couples struggle with starting a family, watching others see their parenting dreams come true as theirs seem to crumble. However, your infertility is not a punishment, but a journey that God has placed you as a couple on to learn and grow from. It is a chance for not only a husband and wife to endure together, but a chance for those around them to aid in that growth.The new book Empty Hands Made Full delves into infertility, from biblical times to present-day, as author Blair Parke discusses a topic many know about but few talk about. Having struggled to start a family with her husband Jeremy, Blair shares with readers their infertility journey to instill important truths about childlessness and how others in the Bible experienced the same dealings with infertility until God answered their prayers.As a secondary part, the book also focuses on helping those closest to couples dealing with infertility, advising ways they can help a couple best during this difficult time. The additional testimonies of four brave women are offered here as well to illustrate how infertility has affected them and ways people reached out to help that demonstrated God's presence in their lives. Infertility is not something anyone wants to experience, but the hope is that Empty Hands Made Full can offer a little encouragement and reminder that God still has plans for your parenting dreams.

This book was released on 2012-03-09 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Long and Restless Journey in Pursuit of Happiness with Empty Hands of Faith: An Authoritative Resource for Bushfallers is a brilliant how to collection of provocative essays that addresses the predicaments surrounding the rollercoaster and sometimes paralyzing crusade of wretched and disillusioned Africans deserting their homelands to seek lifes greener pastures overseas. It is a book on contemplative life that examines with concrete Biblical determinations the spectacular challenges faced by prisoners of hope - bushfallers - in their epic effort to migrate, assimilate, and thrive in their adopted American home. Bat has ingeniously and persuasively interlaced humor, wit, and the Bible to engage readers on a subject that is at times delicate, private, and mystifying to discuss publicly. He advances forthright strategies for bushfallers to follow in order to optimize every moment of their expedition. The book proffers reliable self-help instructions on how to dodge or contend with the abstract, confrontational, and perturbing experiences of the work-a-day life overseas. He proposes knowledge and skills needed in the areas of tactical positioning; indispensable human, material, and social capital; as well as mental and physical astuteness essential for persistence. Most importantly, Bat invites the bushfaller as well as the onlooker to develop spiritual character and pledge total allegiance to the Lord for faith, strength, and direction. This collection of essays is current, thorough, and complete in its coverage of the multidimensional challenges faced by the bushfaller. As the prospects for living and survival gets even darker and heartless at home, and as the immigration climate gets menacing and precarious for bushfallers overseas, it becomes even more imperative to be proactive, innovative and resourceful in handling lifes vicissitudes.

The goal is to demonstrate to officers the understanding of the principles and appropriate use of Soft Empty Hand Control techniques. Law Enforcement officers are authorized to use a range of force options to preserve the peace, prevent crimes, maintain order and apprehend suspects.

Therefore it is essential for the officer to know defensive tactics, to protect him/her, and to control adverse situations. In modern society police have different responsibilities, such as crime investigation, providing security, crime control etc. Therefore, the officer must be aware of special tactics by which he/she can defend him/herself against stabbing, grabbing, pushing, kicking, using sharp and dangerous weapons and firearms. Within a fraction of a second a police officer must be able to react properly, otherwise it may prove to be a fatal situation. Every officer must be aware of defensive tactics and should be able to apply them effectively whenever required.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers Hard Empty Hand Control issues for law enforcement officer. The goal is to provide police officers with an understanding of the principles of Hard Empty Hand Control techniques. Hard Empty Hand Control techniques are defined as striking techniques. These techniques are used to control active aggression, with empty hands and feet, when the intermediate use of weapons is justified, but are not tactically available. The term hard is descriptive of the nature of the technique. Hard empty hand strikes are always defensive not offensive. These techniques are taught to protect lives from immediate danger. All hard empty hand control techniques are basic in nature; however, they address non-lethal use of force situations, and are generally reliable and effective when properly utilized. Police officers should learn and demonstrate knowledge of the striking areas as well as methods of striking. When these techniques become necessary, loud, clear, repetitive verbal commands are an important aspect of the control process. The subject needs to know what the officer desires him/her to do. In addition verbal and physical de-escalation is always preferred and should be attempted, if applicable. In training, safety is paramount. Perfect practice makes perfect. Proper technique is more important than the speed of technique application. Proficiency will increase the speed proportionally. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.
